Vodka and military technology are probably the first two things that spring to mind when Polish exports are mentioned. Now, the East-European country is planning to develop its own supercar…Lamborghini will not approve.
The yet-to-be-named supercar will be manufactured by Polish company Veno Automotive, and will feature a chassis that has been designed to handle as much as 746 kW.
The car’s construction will also utilize lightweight 
materials, such as carbon fibre and aluminium, for its bodywork panels in a bid to keep the kerb weight to a minimum.
You may have noticed that the subject of styling has been neatly side-stepped thus far, as have references to Lamborghini’s jet fighter-inspired supercar…If the Chinese managed to infuriate the Germans with such creations as the X5-alike CEO and Smart ForTwo-aping Bubble, it will be interesting to see how Audi/Lamborghini react to the ‘tracing paper on Reventon brochure’ job Veno’s designers have done.
The Veno supercar will source it's powerplants through Audi (again, should be an interesting transaction once the chaps at Ingolstadt see these renderings), with three versions of the company’s 4,2-litre V8 engine, developing between 261 and 522 kW, on the cards.
Vento also claims that, from 2009, the company will also attempt to shoehorn a number of C6 Chevrolet Corvette engines, including the ZR-1’s 6,2-litre supercharged V8, into its cars.
Combine these powerplants with the 
aforementioned lightweight construction and few driver aids, other than ABS (no mention of traction control!), and Audi/Lambo design patent lawyers should be the least of your concerns.
Veno claims a production run of 50 units is planned for the model, in both coupé and roadster body styles, with an annual capacity of around 10 -12 units already achievable.
Stay tuned for the impending design infringement lawsuit….
